December 10, 2014 - SUPER late review

I keep thinking, DECEMBER?

I am closer to the upcoming December than last December when reading this. Sorry, kids. I stalled out when reading Rai - and realized that I needed to go back and re-read it before I launched into the review of this one. It has started out well - with a re-tread of the Eternal Enemy. A great villain that almost needs to exist across timelines to get much real exposure inside of the comics. But the stories inside of the old Valiant were always excellent - even if sorta faked around initial parameters. This one begins with real promise - executing a bunch of the geomancers with Gilad watching. Great. And especially with him changing and losing every time. Then counter-pointed against Armstrong and the current geomancer. Nicely done. The issue really serves to introduce - or RE-introduce the geomancer and role along with Gilad. But the ending kind of spoiled it for me. I know that the Enemy is supposed to become incarnation of craziness - but the demon spawn might be too much for me.
